This is a lovely heartwarming Christmas story that fully reminded me of a Hallmark film! Definitely one to reach for when you want a cosy warm hug in the form of a book that will make you smile. The story, at times was quite predictable, but I still loved every second of the lovely story!

Feel-good and festive!
Perfect for those days when you're feeling a bit low or stressed and need a cosy, romantic pick-me-up, one which will leave you on a high for days.
This is my first book by Katlyn Duncan (Yes, I know, I am ways behind again) but it certainly won't be the last, I loved her easygoing and charming writing which brings all the magic of Christmas to your day.
The story is cute and adorable, it's easy to see this made into a film, and repeated every year.
A definite must read!

Super cute and easy to read story. It was very easy to just sit back and let the story unfold for you. Good characters and a great storyline.

The main characters were wonderful, with their own flaws and endearing qualities. The secondary characters add much to the story without taking it over, but I could spend more time with them.
This was an incredible sit-by-the-fire holiday read that can be enjoyed any time of year.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for the advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. It was a sweet but a bit predictable winter read, perfect for a night in during cold snowy days.

It’s October and I am not ready for Christmas. Or, at least I didn’t think I was until I read Wrapped Up For Christmas. This story cheered me up and filled me with a warmth I wasn’t expecting. Angie and Nick’s story made me really happy and it kept me hooked. I don’t read a ton of Contemporary Romance because I tend to like to get lost in new worlds, but Wrapped Up For Christmas transported me into the story.

Angie and Nick are fantastically deep characters with rich background stories that make them realistic. Angie has been through a tough time and is attempting to start over. Nick is an incredibly awesome leading man. His heart is full of love and if he could just find the right person *cough*Angie*cough* he would be complete. I may have a tiny crush on Nick.

The story line is full of some angst but also hope and love. It gave me all the feels I was hoping for and left me in the mood for Christmas, which is so out of style for me. I absolutely love Katlyn Duncan’s writing style. As I said earlier in this story, the writing pulled me into the story and made me feel as though I was there. I was able to escape from reality

I recommend checking out this wonderful novel. It will leave you feeling happy, warm and ready for Christmas!

Thank you Netgalley for the chance to read this book in exchange for an honest review. An interesting novel by a new author in my personal reading-sphere! I am sure others would enjoy it too. Good character portrayls, descriptive setting and gripping plot.

Loved the setting and the characters in this story. It felt a lot more like a traditional Christmas book which I really enjoyed! A lovely cozy read that is just lovely to dig into around the festive period.

Unfortunately, I have not been able to read and review this book.

After losing and replacing my broken Kindle and getting a new phone I was unable to download the title again for review as it was no longer available on Netgalley.

I’m really sorry about this and hope that it won’t affect you allowing me to read and review your titles in the future.

Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity.

I loved the overall Christmas feel of this novel with the decorations, trees and festive food leaping off the page but it was the shopping mall which resonated with me most. In my student days, my first job was working in a mall at Christmas and I loved it – the atmosphere, people watching and helping shoppers with their retail experience. Katlyn Duncan has captured the essence of that perfectly as Angie returns to the mall she once worked. She is a character I could relate too and Nick along with his dog, Charlie makes a good love interest. Their chemistry meant I was more than happy to have a duvet day to continue reading to discover how family feuds and trust issues played out.

It is heart-warming, reminded me of the important things about the festive season – love, charity and goodwill – and more importantly, gave me the tingle of anticipation that soon it will be time to decorate my own tree.

Unfortunately I was unable to get in to this story and had to put it down, however, I'm sure it is a highly loved book and appreciated by the right readers.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year… but not for Angie Martinelli…

Having lost her boyfriend, job, and apartment all in the space of a week, Angie has no choice but to leave California and return to her family in New England.

Determined not to let life weigh her down, Angie finds work at the local mall where she worked as a teenager. After an embarrassing run-in with a handsome stranger, Nick, she’s convinced her luck is about to change.

But Nick has secrets of his own… and as the first flakes of snow begin to fall, Angie can’t help but wonder if she’ll ever find love.

Wrapped Up in Christmas by Kaitlyn Duncan is a heartwarming and sweet Christmas read. It centers around war hero, Bodie Lewis, who has lost fellow soldiers in Afghanistan and is still trying to move past those events. Bodie heads to Pine Hill, Kentucky in order to track down the identity of the person who made him a quilt as he was recovering from his wounds in a hospital. Sarah the heroine, is not what Bodie expects. Rather than divulge his identity or the story of his tragic war past, he allows her to believe he is a handyman. As the two fall for each other, Bodie must heal from the past in order to forge a new future in Pine Hill with Sarah.

Wrapped Up For Christmas by Katlyn Duncan


is the love story of Angie and Nick that takes place over the Christmas period.



Angie has returned to her family home in Connecticut after losing her boyfriend and consequently her job in San Diego. Nick is working for his father's company running the local shopping mall.  The pair run into each other in a cafe and become friends, neither wanting a relationship.


The storyline you can pretty much guess, but there are lots of Christmas activities along the way - tree decorating, mugs of hot chocolate, ice skating, and family fueds, it's all in here.  There is even a Christmas baby!

Wrapped Up For Christmas has the added bonus of having Charlie the golden retriever as a main character and a big storyline about supporting the local homeless shelter.


A lovely read to get you into the festive spirit.

If you love hallmark Christmas movies, then you will enjoy this book.
This is about a girl who lost her job, boyfriend and apartment all in the same week, so she has to return to her family. She gets a job at the mall she worked at as a teenager and bumps into a stranger named Nick. The romance was nice, but I think these Christmas books are too cute and perfect.

Unfortunately I did not get on with this book and therefore cannot rate it very highly. I really struggled to connect with the characters and storyline.

I tried, I tried so hard to really get into the book, but after a month of starting and stopping I just had to stop. The premise has promise, and really the expectations are super high, because the whole point of Christmas books are that they are easy reads and make you feel good.

Unfortunately, I just couldn't relate to the characters, the story was soooooooooooo slow to start, and once they got to saving the homeless person but still the characters have secrets from each other....I was just done.

Thank to Net Galley for the ARC for an honest review.

Wonderful, cute happy read. Like Christmas should always be. It was also not over the top just enjoyable.

I received an arc of this title from NetGalley for an honest review. This was the perfect curl up by the fire, it's snowing like crazy, Christmas read.

Wrapped up for Christmas was a great feel good Christmas read with a few twists throughout. I was hooked from the first few pages and I just had to keep on reading. A fab book.
